ST PETERSBURG, June 6.-Tho ukase Of
lne RUSSIAN Government forbidding for
eighers to acquire estates on the western
lrohtcr of Russia is directed chiefly
against the influx of Germans and the
establishment Of German factories and
workshops in Russia. The Government of
Russia regards the introduction of Ger

her interests and in unjust competition

sldcr her interests to be still more dan.
gerously affected by the establishment
upon her own territory of factories

operated by Germans as thoroughly as
any industries maintained within tho Ger
man Empire. The number of German arti-
zans and the amount Of German capital
accompanying thcm which have stead.
lly poured into Russia since the recent
increase of import duties on iron, have
lea the Government to suspect that their
presence was intended in some way to
eVade the customs laws and to avoid the
loss of business which the legitimate
workings of the laws would entail upon
them, The ukase will not Immediately
clicct It's purpose Of wholly excluding
foreign property holders, since foreigners
who are already landlords are exempted
from It's conditions and consequently NAV
remain undsturbed. The temporary CON
ccsslons under which many of them hold
their land will not however, be re-
newcd, and at the expiration of the
periods for which they acquire possession
Of realty their property reycrts back to
the Russian owners. The conditions of
the uEasc, together with the movement
toward Russianizing the Baltic provinces,
VIII tend to increase the already notice
able breach between Russia and Germany,
and render impossible renewal Of their
former cordial relations.

THE TWO EXTREMES.
\ Dealers Chat About Very Cheap and
Very Expensive Footwear.


"This pair of good shoes for 81, ;" was
a sign that attracted the attention of
areportcr as he walked down Wash
ington street few mornings ago. As
the shoes, TO all appearances, seemed
to be worth many times their advcr-
tiscd price the reporter stepped in and
asked the proprietor how he could af-
ford to sell such shoe at such cheap
price.
Cheap" answered the proprietor,
laughing, 'why, that is the most cX-
pcnsivc shoe we have in the house.
Moreover, it is the most expensive
shoe in all Boston. The shoe sells for
81, 1t is worth fifty cents. Its uppers
are made out of the very cheapest sort
of leather, generally rotton, and its
solcs are almost all paper. One good
wetting will make the whole shoe fall

There are always persons who buy II

or not, simply because they see it adj

who believe in handsomely clothing

buy that shoe, and then 90 and spend
what would get them really good
shoe on triilcs. | say frankly that
no 81 shoe is worth buying. Nor is
any 81 shoe worth buying. There is
no greater mistake that persons can
possibly make than to buy excessively
cheap goods. But. of course, this idea
of getting good things can be, and
very often is, carried too far. Very
few persons, and some who can really
i'll afford to do so, pay $40 and Sl2 for
a pair of shoes. No shoe can be made
that is worth over 81 All over that
amount is profit, and giving Sl2 for

Of the case Of Edward Prockncll and three

years. The prisoners and their victims

In German story books an edifying
story is told of two men who were de-

thought it would be dangerous to tray-
crse the ocean in Il ship. He began,
therefore, to bail the sea out of its bed.
in order that he might cross over ON dry
land. Meanwhile the other bctook
himself to Il dock yard and had proper
vessel built, and while his friend was
still vigorously at work hailing, he set
sail and accomplished the journey back
and forth, without the ocean being ap-
prcciably reduced by even drop in its
volume. The British and Russians,
respectively, in their ASiatic policy re-
mind Us Of those two travellers. While
England is striving TO consolidate her
Indian Empire by impracticablc
methods, Russia is quietly pursuing
the most cflicaciouS measures to de-
velop her supremacy in the east and
southeast of Asia. Her trans-Caspian
railroad has been quietly extended
through desert steppes lying to the
northeast of Merv, and trains are now
running regularly as far as Chariui, on
the ONus. This river, whose waters
supplied the victorious hordes of Timour
and of Ghengcs-Khan, has been
bridgcd over, and the laying of the rails
through Bucharis as far as Samarcund
and Taschkend will soon begin. Two
steamers are making regular trips ON the
Oxus and are engaged in the transport
ofarticlcS of commerce between the rail-
road terminus and khiva. When we
remember that scarcely ten yearc ago no
European could have vcnturcd into
those regions without imminent danger
of life, while now one can fly at rail-
road speed and in Il saloon carriage
across this country, we are able to cstl-
mate the magnitude of this Russian
enterprise III its influence on civiliza-
ton. The Emir of Bokhara, who is
doing every thing in his power TO en-
courage the construction of railroads in
his dominion, is the grandson of the
great Asiatic potcntate who less than
thirty years ago caused to be executed
the ambassadors of Queen Victoria,
Colonel Stoddard and Captain Connolly.
Merv, the original Tartar capital, was
chiefly made known to the world by

it was revisited few years ago by the
bold Irishman, ODonovan. Now it is

at present be reached on the wings of
